Result
Development in PHP
The design approach was built around PHP 5 and MySQL SERVER 5 due to the social networking nature of the website. Modules such as user profiles, invitations, forums, and blogs were developed in PHP such that they can be executed directly from the UI layerUI Layer
The UI layer was kept free of any business logic with images, applications, and data being called from their respective servers. Sub-domains were used for the different areas of the website to guarantee scalability.Managing updated news
